		<h2 id="Purpose">Purpose</h2>
		<p>The Mass viewpoint enables to simply describe the non-functional aspect of mass in Capella.</p>
		<h2 id="Scope">Scope</h2>
		<p>Mass information can be added on a Physical Component or graphically in PAB diagrams.</p>
		<h2 id="Principles">Principles</h2>
		<p>On a Physical Component, a "Mass" annotation indicates the mass associated to a component. A "Maximal Mass" defines the upper mass accepted by a component.</p>
		<p>When a component contains sub-components, recursively, the total mass is the sum of the mass of its sub-components and its mass.</p>
		<p>Graphically, when:</p>
		<ul>
			<li>Total mass &lt; Maximal Mass: the Physical Component and associated annotation are displayed in 
				<b>green</b>.
			</li>
			<li>Total mass = Maximal Mass: the Physical Component and associated annotation are displayed in 
				<b>orange</b>.
			</li>
			<li>Total mass &gt; Maximal Mass: the Physical Component and associated annotation are displayed in 
				<b>red</b>.
			</li>
		</ul>

		</p>
		<h2 id="Practice">Practice</h2>
		<p>The Basic Mass viewpoint enriches the Capella palette with a new section composed of one icon:</p>
		<ul>
			<li>
				<b>Mass</b>: it enables to set the mass of a Physical Component Node or Behavioral Component.
			</li>
		</ul>
		<p>Use of Mass:</p>
		<ul>
			<li>Click on the icon and next on a Physical Component Node or Behavioral Component.</li>
			<li>Set the current Value and Max Value in the 'Basic Mass' section of the Properties view.</li>
			<li>The mass of the components containing the current component are automatically recomputed and the colors change if needed.</li>
		</ul>
		<p>A Mass can be alone on the current diagram. That means that this Mass is applied on the Physical Component which contains the diagram (e.g., the Physical System).</p>
